Life and Care in Aiken
More than 3,500 students attend the University of South Carolina Aiken. College is often when ADHD becomes hard to manage, as structure falls away and demands rise, and we see students 18 and older by video between classes.
Aiken sits beside the Savannah River Site, a 310-square-mile U.S. Department of Energy nuclear site whose contractors are among the area's largest employers. Demanding professional work can expose ADHD that went unnoticed for years.
Nearly 30 percent of Aiken residents are 65 or older, part of a long history as a destination for retirees and winter residents.
Aiken's economy centers on the Savannah River Site and tire and consumer products manufacturing.
Aiken County is federally designated as a mental health professional shortage area, meaning there are too few mental health professionals for the people who live there. Telehealth lets Aiken residents see a provider without waiting for a local opening.
How ADHD Evaluation and Treatment Works
Your first visit is a full evaluation by secure video. Your provider reviews your symptoms, your history back to childhood, how attention problems affect your work and home life, and other conditions that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, depression and poor sleep.
If you have not completed a formal ADHD evaluation or testing before, our practice requires objective ADHD testing before ADHD treatment can begin. The testing is a separate computerized assessment of the three core symptoms of ADHD: attention, activity and impulsivity. It is completed online as part of your evaluation, usually before your virtual visit with your provider, on a third-party, web-based, FDA-cleared ADHD assessment platform. It gives your provider objective data from validated testing to aid the diagnosis, but on its own it is not enough to diagnose ADHD. ADHD testing is self-pay and not covered by insurance; our front desk will tell you the cost when you schedule. Your visits with your provider may be billed to your insurance according to your plan benefits.
Treatment is built with you and can include medication when clinically appropriate, counseling for organization and coping strategies, and regular follow-up.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
